Background

Anil read law at the prestigious University of Nottingham, United Kingdom and graduated in 2000.  

He pursued his professional qualification as a barrister at the renowned Inns of Court School of Law in London and was subsequently called to the bar at the Honourable Society of Middle Temple, United Kingdom.   He also holds a Graduate Diploma for Professional Legal Skills from City University, London which he obtained in 2003.  

Anil is an advocate and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore and continues to be a practising member of the Singapore Bar specialised in corporate, commercial disputes and landlord/tenant matters.

Before embarking on a career in law, Anil pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in management from the esteemed University of London with his area of specialisation in finance and international trade.

Anil was awarded in 2019 by the Institute of Mergers, Acquisitions & Alliances the designation of Mergers & Acquisitions Professional (M&AP) and International Mergers & Acquisitions Expert (IM&A).

Business Sense

Anil’s business qualification, experience and acumen gives him the necessary foundation and pillars to appreciate how businesses and companies organise themselves. It shows him, among other things, that profitability is unachievable unless organisations coordinate their people (HR), operations and working capital (finance) systematically and efficiently.  The organisation’s culture and ethos determine ultimately the organisation’s sustainability and growth.
